used boat $$$

Hey IDO’s
Where is the best place to find boat values
all I can find is NADA
looking at a older Lund tyee
Thanks

I would call reputable Lund dealers and describe the boat and they should tell you what they feel they could sell it for. Not trade in obviously, but what they would list it at.
I think you’ll get an honest answer.

Used boats are tough to price, Belletaine is on to something calling a couple lund dealers they would more than likely help you out. Obviously boat demand is higher in the spring vs the fall so take that into a little bit of a count.

When I bought my boat I watched craigslist/walleye central for over a year looking for the right deal. You soon find out the ones that are over priced remain listed and the ones that are priced right move real quick sometimes in less than a day or two.

When I bought my used Lund three years ago I did what out_fishing said. I looked at ads and what was selling and what wasn’t.
You can have a dealer look at a boat also just like you’d have a mechanic check out a car.

If you are looking to get a loan the banks rate the value off of nada. I found this out when I was lookinG for a used boat last year. Found out nada is about 50% of real world prices so I had to buy a new boat. just an FYI if you didn’t know

There is no accurate guide to boat values. NADA is a tool so lenders don’t get burned by overlending, the prices are impossibly broad and don’t accurately reflect regional variations.

The best source is to get your own gut feeling by watching Craigslist and other classifieds. Specifically you are watching for the ads that disappear! Because that’s what is SELLING. Anybody can (and many do) post a piece of cr@p for top dollar, but the real value is determined by what sells.

If you post the year, model, and condition, we can most likely give you a fairly accurate range.

I have seen the ones that languish on CL for months,and probably for a reason.Too many claim rebuilt this or that,but have no written proof.

You could look on iboats for a general price.
